Having some difficulty with Firefox, just for a change. As usual, it's the search bar, which won't go back to Lucky, even after adjusting alt.config. Just spit-balling, wondered if anyone had advice.

What did you adjust in about.config?

This article has two methods for restoring “I’m Feeling Lucky” functionality to the Firefox address bar

So is it working now, or were you just answering the question in my post?

I was just answering, last time it fixed it, this time it did not.

Did you try the LuckyBar extension the article I linked to above mentioned?

This page has a comment saying how the solution on the page works on FF 10.0.2:

I just updated to Firefox 13, and am now seeing a return of the 'rippling' effect when I scroll up and down. I turned off smooth scrolling, but the problem remains. Anyone else notice this and/or have a solution? Thanks.

Do you have 'hardware acceleration' on in the firefox options? Advanced>General>Use Hardware Acceleration When available

Yes, it's on. I have smooth scrolling and auto scrolling off, although I didn't notice any change when I turned them on, and then back off again.

Not sure if you fixed the problem, but I thought perhaps this might help?
